TECHNICAL FEATURES DIFFERENTIAL LOCK CLUTCH OPERATION With normal differential function, if one drive wheel loses traction the differential will stop power to the other wheelWhen locking the differential, both drive shafts are locked together so power is equally distributed to both wheelsDifferential Actuation: Differential Lock:
When the operator selects diffe rential lock with the selector lever, the shift fork slides the clutch sleeve to engage the differential gear housing in the final gear case with the half shaft (connected to the right drive shaft) directlyIf the spline between the gear housing and the half shaft does not engage, the system has lost motion mechanism to engage the differential housing
